I guess it isn't symlink specific, since it's part of mairix's raw
output, too.
I was also surprised to see that Emacs handles a path like that just
fine. Looks like `directory-file-name' will remove as many trailing
slashes as you have on a filepath, and since that function gets used
somewhere inside most of the other filepath functions, it ends up
working.
Luckily `file-name-split' is one of those other functions, so instead of
doing gross regular expression munging I'll switch to using Science™ and
treat the path like an actual file name. Instead of adding cruft we can
fix your bug and make the whole thing more reliable at the same time.
(mapconcat #'identity
(remove "" (file-name-split f-name))
".")
Maybe this will create more bugs, but let's see!
Hmm, maybe I'll float this on gnus.general first...
